Here are a few tips for successfully blending your blended family.
- Work together to develop your values as parents
- Discuss discipline issues that may already exist and share strategies that have worked. It is also helpful to have this conversation so that you can both agree on how to discipline as a united front.
- Spend time bonding as a new family unit. This could be as simple as family dinners on Sundays.
- The foundation of the blended family is built by the parents who are in a relationship. Therefore, this is the most important relationship to maintain for the family unit to work.
- Learn to get along with ex- partners and maintain cordial relationships, especially around children.
- Continue to set aside time to bond with your children from your “original” family.
